Mercedes Sprinter Steering Lock – Genuine OEM | NCV3 | #9064620130 (2010–2018)

A failed or seized steering lock on a NCV3 Sprinter can make the key difficult or impossible to turn, lock the steering column in place when it shouldn't, or trigger security system warnings that prevent the van from starting — leaving it stranded until the lock assembly is replaced. This is the Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM steering lock for NCV3 Sprinters, a direct replacement that restores proper mechanical column locking, key-in recognition, and anti-theft function.

What This Part Does

The steering lock is a combined mechanical and electronic assembly mounted on the steering column that performs two functions simultaneously. Mechanically, it extends a locking pin into the steering column shaft when the ignition key is removed, physically preventing the column from rotating and providing the primary anti-theft mechanical deterrent. Electronically, it communicates with the EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) and immobilizer system to verify key authorization before allowing the engine to start — an integral part of the Sprinter's anti-theft chain. When the lock motor's gears strip, the locking pin becomes stuck in the engaged position, or the electronic module loses communication with the EIS, the steering becomes locked when it shouldn't be, the key won't turn, or security system fault codes prevent starting.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Steering Lock

• Key that is stiff, difficult to turn, or won't turn at all in the ignition
• Steering wheel locked in position when the key is in and the van should be operable
• Ignition or security system fault codes stored in the EIS or body control module
• Van that won't start with a security system warning despite a valid key
• Steering lock warning message in the instrument cluster

When to Replace

Replace when the steering lock is confirmed failed by XENTRY with active steering lock fault codes, or when mechanical failure of the lock pin prevents normal key operation. After replacement, the new steering lock must be programmed to the vehicle's EIS with XENTRY — steering locks are VIN-coded and will not function without programming.
